great deal of justification too— and I
was without means to further the new
plans which 1 had evolved and hoped
to put Into execution.
And so I had no one to turn to for
help except my acquaintaces right
here In Jackson Prison and as I look
back over the past four years and men­
tally review the assistance and co­
operation received from my fellow-
inmates a lump comes Into my throat
when 1 think that I shall shortly say
good-bye to them.
As the years rooled and m t:IBaUET
As the years rolled by my efforts
came to the attention o f others thru-
out the country. I steadily began to
regain the love and respect of all m>
former friends and relatives until to­
day 1 find m yself enjoying the good­
will and best wishes of every person
1 ever knew, plus the friendships and
offers of help that have reached me
from total strangers and from nearly
every state In the Union.
If any feeling of enjoyment actually
exists In preparing to soon leave my
friends In these two prisons It Is the
fact that my prison friends seem al­
most happier than I do myself in the
prospect of my early freedom.
It has been my pleasure to enjoy
the good-will and acquaintance of pri­
soners of every conceivable type dur­
ing the past four years and If in the
free world I can find as much real
companionship and human and broth­
erly love as I have In here then I
shall be greatly pleased— but. Indeed,
much surprised, for I do not think
there exists such an understanding a-
motig men as there is to be found In
prison between men who have been
classed as "down and out” but who
are doing everything within their opw-
er in a sincere effort to build them­
selves up again.

One more week— one more column—
and my days as an ''Inside” writer
will be oyer, but even as these days
are growing less and less there comes
a very sentimental feeling stealing a
round my heart In having to leave so
many good friends—real frieuils— be­
hind.
Perhaps, because I have made ex­
ceptional use of my spare time dur­
ing these past four years. I am In a
better position than the average In­
mate, to appreciate the real meaning
o f friendships in prison, and to know
the happiness that comes with such ac­
quaintances.
Whatever 1 have been able to-ach­
ieve during these past four years, of
course, primarily, thanks are due to
Warden Jackson, and his co-operating
officer*, for the privileges they have
extended and the encouragement given
to all prlsours who sincerely desired to
build anew.
But It is the inmates of Jackson P ri­
son that I am peculiarly Indebted for
their everyday working co-opcration
during these past four years. 1 am
frank to confess that withou* their c.>-
cieration my efforts would haw been
considerably t-iur ;ed and ihe ‘ gallic"

A few years ago I was I tn prc.v-*d
by a few Hues written by H.avtuik
Ellis, which went something like this
"It Is on our failures that we base
a new and different and better suc­
cess"
Many times In life I had failed and
so I challenged, mentally, the ahove
thought, and thoroughly analysed my
failures. In times, a new outlook on
life, and new plans came lnfb being
and I attempted their fulfillment. I
found myself considerably handicapp­
ed. My friends and relatives had be­
come disgusted with me and had com­
pletely forsaken me— perhaps with a

One of my reader* came to the pri­

lations upon m e—and what a shower!
This lady. Mrs. Mary Green Haves, of
Jackson, drew for me quite a word
picture on the changes made daring
the past seventeen years since I have
been away from Chicago. Also, the
changes In customs and habits of peo­
ple — particularly the female sex.
Frankly. I don't know whether to be­
come alarmed or whether I should
welcome the change In habits Maybe
that depends altogether upon the in­
dividual! W e'll see!

if ray recent visitor happens to be in

favor me with another lecture. Ie real­
ly believe I'd love It.

favorable comments on my "coming
